Cuban musician Gorki Águila reported that the island's police fined him two thousand pesos and threatened him after interrogating him at the station where they detained him.

With the image of the fine, he described what the conversation was like with the Cuban political police officers in which they told him, among other things, "impunity is over with you."

"One of the already recurring threatening orders of the interrogations with the security of the coma is the direct and clear prohibition of my right to assume as an artist to make my music public," said the rebellious Cuban artist.

Gorki assured that fearing that the conversation would be recorded, as happened previously with another young man who recorded an interrogation, they took off his clothes and glasses. They then took his fingerprints to update "his criminal profile."

"You can't do what you do because you don't have papers," Águila said the officer who treated him told him.

In the conversation, they talked about different topics, among them that it is the fault of the US Government that there is no soap for bathing in Cuba.

They also threatened to not let him leave the country and that they would impose fines of two thousand pesos "for each change of ball" that Gorki Águila promotes.

Finally, Ávila expressed ignorance of the true reason for the fine. Possible motives include "talking pineapple shell about the tyrants of this country or "spreading improper propaganda."

Gorki Águila is the director of the music band Porno para Ricardo, known for its lyrics against the Cuban Government. At the beginning of January the police arrested him a few meters from his home, apparently for no reason.
